I will get CLRS eventually, but I think I want something a bit softer to get started with. The Algorithm Design Manual has a lot of little anecdotes thrown in that I think will be fun to read. :P I've heard of TopCoder before, but I never bothered to give it much attention. I'll give it a shot though! Cheers.
